Armstrong played four seasons at Florida and transferred to Jacksonville for his fifth season, where he challenged for the national home run lead through his first 40 games of the season. While he cooled off over the final weeks of the season, Armstrong still hit .300/.424/.668 with 22 home runs, 12 doubles, a 25.5% strikeout rate and a 17% walk rate. He has plenty of raw power with a 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame and 90th percentile exit velocities around 107-108 mph, but he has below-average contact skills and had just a 64% contact rate this spring. A third baseman for Jacksonville, Armstrong is a corner profile only and might be better served at first base—where he played at Florida—and will also turn 24 just a few days before the draft.
